You're the average of the five people you surround yourself with. It's not just a saying, it shows up in your health, your business, and your mindset.

My guest this week, Alondra Sanchez of SimplicityCo Movement, built her entire community around this idea. She's met her best friend and her business partners at her own events, proof that the right room changes everything.

My guest this week, Alondra Sanchez of SimplicityCo Movement, got real about something a lot of fitness entrepreneurs feel but rarely say out loud: body dysmorphia.

She opens up about feeling like she was the product, not just the coach, and the pressure that came with it. Then she says the line that stopped me: nobody is as mean as you can be to yourself.

Once she let that go, she started training less and getting the best results of her life.

Most transformations start from the wrong place.

They start from restriction, from hating your body, from feeling like you did something wrong and now you have to fix it. And no good energy flows from a place of contraction like that.

In this episode with my guest, Alondra Sanchez of SimplicityCo Movement, I break down why real transformation has to start from self love first. When you speak life over your body and trust its ability to heal, it works at a different frequency.

Going to bed with a full stomach changes what your body has to work on overnight.

Nighttime is when the body resets, repairs, and moves through its natural clean-up processes. But if you eat right before bed, your blood
sugar is elevated and your body still has a meal to digest.

That is why I pay attention to the space between dinner and sleep when I want to support overnight fat burning.

You do not need to understand everything before you begin reconnecting with yourself.

Samantha Harper suggests starting with curiosity. When something creates contraction, discomfort, or frustration, pause and ask where it
came from. Is the habit truly supporting you, or is it simply familiar? Are you choosing it, or was it chosen for you?

Curiosity creates enough space to notice patterns without immediately judging them. And when frustration appears, it may be the point where something is finally ready to shift.

Learn how better questions can help you move out of autopilot and back into relationship with your body.

Growth can change the way people respond to you.

In this conversation, Samantha Harper explains that when your light becomes brighter, it can reveal where other people do not feel ready to
shine. Their discomfort may show up as distance, projection, or resistance, but that does not mean your evolution is wrong.

Your responsibility is not to dim yourself so everyone else feels comfortable. It is to keep coming home to who you are and take up the
space you are meant to occupy.

Hear why your growth can become medicine, even for the people who resist it.

Your cells need energy, and I think about red light therapy almost like charging a battery.

I use red light therapy as part of my biohacking routine because of its relationship with ATP and the mitochondria. But this part of my health
journey has also pushed me beyond thinking only about the physical body.

The tools matter to me, but so do energy, spirituality, mindset, and the way I relate to my body. I want the things I implement to help me show up for my life with more capacity, not just give me another protocol to manage.

My health did not change because I finally found a perfect routine.

What I do now has been built over more than a decade. I had to move away from the all-or-nothing cycle and stop treating every new habit like something I had to master overnight. Sleep, hydration, food, detox, mindset, and the tools I use today were added piece by piece.

Some of the hardest seasons also forced me to look at what needed to change, what I needed to shed, and where I was out of alignment. That is a very different way of looking at a setback than deciding you failed and starting over again on Monday.

The mind can move on from a difficult moment while the body is still holding it.

I watched this happen with my daughter during muscle testing. A practitioner recognized that her body was still responding to a frightening health experience from years earlier. Simply acknowledging that the moment was scary and that she was now safe helped her body soften enough to continue.

That experience reminded me that healing is not always about forcing the body forward. Sometimes it begins with giving the body permission to feel heard.

Learn more about how breath, acknowledgment, and curiosity may support the nervous system.

Sometimes the answer does not come from another book, podcast, or coach. It comes from finally getting quiet.

We live in a world of constant input, even when the content is inspiring and helpful. But when every quiet moment is filled, there may be no space left to hear our own inner wisdom or notice the emotions still waiting for our attention.

I have learned that ten minutes of silence can sometimes reveal more than hours of outside information.

Learn more about creating space to reconnect with your own thoughts, body, and inner knowing.

Your breath may be more powerful than you think. Watch POD46 with Dr. Cory Ostroot & Jessica Waala to explore breathwork, healing, and nervous system regulation.
